Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!
1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Comments on "Inside joke"
Brett, come on, Perry's a fictional character. Get real, have a cup of Joe, for God's sake.
Hey, I just stumbled across your website while I was near the end of reading HP and the HBP, and held off from reading the blogs until I hastily finished the rest of the book. I am really enjoying reading about the symbolism, as I never thought too much about it while reading the books. I posted a link to you from my own blog, so keep up the good work!

Blondie, we're glad you like the site. I heard there's a lot of great coffee shops in Montreal.
Check out Blondie's great blog. Hey, I just learned what "having a wooden face" means.
No Way, man ... that stuff like stunts your growth ... or sumthin like that
lol
My boss looks at me funny - it's not yet 50 degrees yet when we stop at Hardees in the morning on the way to the site, he buys drinks and the other guys all order coffee and I order a coke (we always drink outside).
Too warm-blooded - as Mike C said once, "your wife is going to love you in the winter and hate you in the summer"
Blondie,
Glad you like the comments on HP.
I checked out your site and saw that you also liked Were-Rabbit.
W&G are great, I once lent my 1st vhs copy of the 3 original episodes from 1990 to a friends for her kids to watch ... never got it back, I told her to tell the kids it was a present from me, she said "well, I'll make sure they write you a thank you ... Zion (her son) has probably pretty much worn the tapes out"
another coffee hater here. even tiramasu which by all logic i should love except for that insidious taste ruining all the good bits!!!1

JKR,
Ah ... see, I am a non hot drinks person all together ... except for the occassional hot chocolate in the winter after sledding, but that has not happened for years. Although I did have a very rich cup of hot chocolate this weekend at the bar of the ABC home decor store in lower manhattan this past weekend with my friend Carl and his wife Marisa ... she has a list of several other places in town advertising good hot chocolate, on what she calls her "2006 hot chocolate tour" ... it was really quite good, and a good time with them and their almost-one-year-old son August, who is a riot to watch.
I personally really do have to break myself of my own alternative-too-coffee "waker-upper" of harshly cold and heavily caffinated carbonation. But it really is like Hamish Cambell's father in Braveheart when they pour the whiskey in his wound and the cotterize it with a hot iron - "aye! that'll wake ya up in the mornin'!"
hehehe... yeh. that'd do it!
